Just like the tile says!Is there a textured or perforated leather that kinda looks like the basketweave? I searched for some examples,found a few seats done in leather,but looking for more. The vinyl is pissing me off.
TIA

I am also not a big fan of the vinyl, but is leather really any better? I had Autos International make up a seat recovering kit with the corduroy inserts on the seating surface. It was available as stock, and is certainly a lot cooler to sit on than the vinyl.

However, it's your car, so finish it the way that makes you happy!
